Every industry has been transformed by technology, which is also helpful in this day and age. Rapid technological change is also having an impact on the educational system. It prioritizes high-quality education and works to increase its appeal and accessibility across a broad geographic range. The impact of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) on the educational system is enormous. Numerous IT businesses operate in this field and offer platforms for education that are both paid and unpaid. In an effort to foster greater creativity and understanding among students, educators have begun implementing a technology-centered education system and are employing them to conduct lectures. This research examines the various online platforms and applications that are accessible in India and evaluates their efficacy for teaching students by teachers. The graphical user interface (GUI), audio-video quality, and other multimedia characteristics have been compared by the authors with other variables such as cost-effectiveness, minimal operational requirements, noise reduction, engagement time, resource reusability, and interactive conversations.
